【Objective】 To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of primary nocturnal enuresis (PNE) in adolescents, and to explore its psychological effects. 【Methods】 During Sep.2020 and Dec.2020, an epidemiological survey was conducted among 6 408 junior and senior high school students in a region of Henan Province by stratified and cluster random sampling. The survey included general information questionnaire, urinary frequency, urgency, incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infection (RUTI), Enuresis Questionnaire, Self-esteem Scale (SES) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). 【Results】 A total of 7, 000 questionnaires were distributed and 6 408 (91.54%) were valid. The survey showed that the total prevalence of PNE among adolescents was 2.98%. The prevalence was 4.67% in those aged 12 years and 1.37% in those aged 18 years. The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR=1.677, P<0.05), overweight (OR=1.842, P<0.05), urgency (OR=1.676, P<0.05), frequency (OR=1.919, P<0.05), incontinence (OR=3.493, P<0.001), RUTI (OR=2.535, P<0.001) and family history (OR=3.005, P<0.001) were related to the risk of PNE. The SES score of PNE patients was lower than that of non-PNE group (z=-3.097, P<0.05), and the PSQI was higher (z=-5.456, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The prevalence of PNE is high in adolescents and decreases gradually with age. Male, overweight, frequency, urgency, incontinence, RUTI and family history are risk factors. PNE has a negative impact on self-esteem and sleep quality in adolescents.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

Objective:To study the influencing factors of postoperative complications in patients with malignant biliary obstruction treated by endoscopic radiofrequency ablation(RFA).Methods:Data of patients with malignant biliary obstruction who underwent endoscopic RFA at the Department of Gastroenterology, Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2010 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 62 males and 48 females, with age (74.1±11.1) years. Based on occurrence of postoperative complications, these patients were divided into the complication group ( n=18) and the control group ( n=92). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analysis the influencing factors of complications. Results:RFA was successfully performed in 110 patients with malignant biliary obstruction, and the technical success rate was 100.0% (110/110). Postoperative complications occurred in 18 patients (16.4%), including 12 patients with of biliary tract infection (8 patients with acute cholangitis, 4 patients with acute cholecystitis) and 6 patients with acute pancreatitis. All these patients responded well to treatment. The proportion of patients who developed complications having associated diabetes, bile duct stenosis length >2.5 cm, fractional RFA for bile duct stenosis, and single stent drainage were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of complications after endoscopic RFA was significantly increased in patients with diabetes ( OR=6.967, 95% CI: 1.256-38.658) and fractional RFA of bile duct stenosis ( OR=8.297, 95% CI: 1.526-45.122), while the risk of complications after multiple stents drainage ( OR=0.037, 95% CI: 0.008-0.169) was significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Diabetes and fractional RFA of bile duct stenosis were risk factors for complications after endoscopic RFA of malignant biliary obstruction. Multiple stents drainage was a protective factor. Better clinical attention should be paid to the patients with high risk factors.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of Bushen Shengxue prescription and Yiqi Yangxue prescription in the treatment of chronic aplastic anemia and the effect on T cell subsets and the expression of T-box expressed in T cells （T-bet） and GATA binding protein 3 （GATA3）. MethodA total of 585 patients with chronic aplastic anemia who were treated in 19 hospitals in China from May 2018 to June 2021 were enrolled. With the prospective， double-blind and randomized control methods， the patients were randomized into three groups： kidney deficiency group， Qi and blood deficiency group， and control group. The three groups were respectively treated with Bushen Shengxue prescription granule， Yiqi Yangxue prescription granule， and Placebo （half the dose of Bushen Shengxue formula granules）. In addition， all of them were given oral cyclosporin and androgen. The treatment lasted 6 months， with 3 months as a course. The blood routine indexes， T cell subsets， and fusion genes T-bet and GATA3 before and after treatment were analyzed， and the safety indexes were monitored. ResultDuring the observation， a total of 75 cases dropped out and 18 were rejected. Finally， 161 cases in the kidney deficiency group， 164 in the Qi and blood deficiency group， and 167 in the control group were included. After 6 months of treatment， the total effective rate was 98.8% （159/161） in the kidney deficiency group， which was higher than the 79.9% （131/164） in the Qi and blood deficiency group （χ²=30.135， P<0.01） and the 61.7% （103/167） in the control group （χ²=70.126， P<0.01）. The total effective rate was higher in the Qi and blood deficiency group than in the control group （χ²=13.232， P<0.01）. After treatment， the hemoglobin （HGB） content increased significantly in three groups （P<0.05） as compared with that before treatment， particularly the kidney deficiency group （P<0.01）. After treatment， the white blood cell （WBC） count and platelet （PLT） count in the kidney deficiency group and the control group increased compared with those in the Qi and blood deficiency group （P<0.01）. There was no specific difference in neutrophils （ANC） after treatment among the three groups. At the same time point， the level of T helper type 1 （Th1） cells， Th1/Th2 ratio （P<0.05）， level of CD4⁺， and CD4⁺/CD8⁺ ratio （P<0.05） were significantly low in the kidney deficiency group among three groups. There was no significant difference in CD19^-， HLA/DR⁺， and CD25⁺ between the kidney deficiency group and the other two groups， but the T-bet of the kidney deficiency group and the control group was lower than that of the Qi and blood deficiency group （P<0.05）. ConclusionBushen Shengxue prescription exerts therapeutic effect on the aplastic anemia by improving the immunoregulatory mechanism， inhibiting the activity of immune system， modulating T cell subsets， suppressing Th1 and CD4⁺， and promoting bone marrow hematopoiesis. Moreover， it is safe with little side effects， which is worthy of further promotion.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of office blood pressure(OBP)combined with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring(ABPM)on the diagnosis of hypertension. Methods: The residents aged 35-79 years without hypertension history,whose casual OBP were 120~159 mm Hg/80~99 mm Hg,were enrolled from 4 communities of Hangzhou and Zhuji from 2015 to 2018. They were performed OBP measurements on other two days in 4 weeks and ABPM in a week. There were 2 criteria of OBP as elevated OBP on the first day or in 3 different days,and 4 criteria of ABPM as elevated mean BP in 24 hours, daytime, nighttime and either of the above time. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was employed to evaluate the effects of different OBP criteria combined with ABPM criteria on the diagnosis of masked hypertension(MH)and white-coat hypertension(WCH). Results: Taking 3-day-OBP as a golden standard,the 1-day-OBP with 4 ABPM criteria had the areas under the ROC curve(AUC)of 0.79-0.81,sensitivity of 57.58%-62.77% and specificity of 100.00% in MH;had the AUC of 0.95-0.98,sensitivity of 100.00% and specificity of 88.96%-96.80% in WCH. The Kappa values were all less than 0.6,known as low consistency. Taking either time of ABPM as a golden standard,24 hours,daytime and nighttime ABPM criteria with OBP had the AUC of 0.90-0.92,sensitivity of 79.17%-83.90% and specificity of 100.00% in MH(all Kappa>0.6),when with 1-day-OBP,the Kappa values were all more than 0.8,known as high consistency;had the AUC of 0.95-1.00,sensitivity of 100.00% and specificity of 89.54%-99.37% in WCH,the Kappa values of daytime ABPM were all more than 0.6,known as high consistency. Conclusions If limited by options, 1-day-OBP could be used instead of 3-day-OBP for detection of WCH or exclusion of MH yet with less accuracy; 24 hours or daytime ABPM instead of either time of ABPM was reliable.

Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of HPV detection in squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary site.Methods:Clinical data of 6 patients who were initially diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary site and eventually diagnosed with HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were collected, and the process of diagnosis was analyzed.Results:Upon the initial admission, all patients were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis with positive p16 expression, positive HPV-16 subtype and negative EBER expression. No obvious primary lesion was found after comprehensive examination. Subsequently, four of them underwent ipsilateral tonsollar blind biopsy ( n=2) and ipsilateral tonsillectomy ( n=2). All these four patients were pathologically diagnosed with tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma. For the other two cases, MRI detected the thickening complicated with enhancement of ipsilateral wall of oropharynx and tongue root after follow-up for D149 and D545 , respectively. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil and tongue root, respectively. Conclusion:For patients with HPV-positive squamous cell carcinoma of the cervical lymph node metastasis from an unknown primary site, the possibility that the primary lesion originates from the oropharyngeal site, especially the tonsil and tongue root, should be highly suspected.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic significance of paranasal sinus invasion for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its suitable position in the T classification. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of 695 patients with previously untreated, biopsy-proven, non-metastatic NPC that was treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: The incidence of paranasal sinus invasion was 39.4% (274 of 695 patients). Multivariate analysis showed that paranasal sinus invasion was an independent negative prognostic factor for local failure-free survival (LFFS) (p < 0.05). According to the eighth American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, 275 patients were classified as T3 classification. Of these, 78 patients (28.4%) developed paranasal sinus invasion (T3b) and 197 (71.6%) didn't (T3a). The estimated 5-year LFFS and overall survival (OS) rates for the patients with T3b and T3a classification were 88.6% versus 95.0% (p=0.047), and 84.5% versus 93.3% (p=0.183), respectively. The estimated 5-year LFFS and OS rates for the patientswith T4 classificationwere 89.5% and 83.2%,whichwere similarwith the outcomes of patients with T3b classification. CONCLUSION: MRI-determined paranasal sinus invasion is an independent prognostic factor of NPC treated by IMRT. Paranasal sinus invasion is recommended to classify as T4 classification in the 8th AJCC staging system for NPC.

Objective To explore the impact of oral nutritional supplements in the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving chemoradiotherapy. Methods From 2016 to 2018, we prospectively collected 114 patients into our study, including intervention group ( n=58) and control group ( n=56) . Patients in the intervention group were given oral nutritional supplements from the beginning of radiotherapy, while the control group patients were receiving usual diet care. We collected data of weight, hematological index and nutrition related information before, during and after treatments. Results All patients experienced weight loss during radiotherapy. The declining trend was more obvious in intervention group but with no statistical difference ( P>0.05) . Radiotherapy interruption was lower, completion rate of 2 cycles of concurrent chemotherapy was higher( 78% vs 64%, P=0.02) and level of total serum protein and albumin was more stable ( P=0.003, 0.001) in the intervention group. No difference was found in acute toxicities between the two groups ( P>0.05) . During the treatment period, the nutrition risk screening score declined, more patients with NRS 2002 ≥3 in the control group than the intervention group ( P<0.05) , while no statistically significant difference was found in PG-SGA between the two groups ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusions Oral nutritional supplements can improve treatment tolerance and keep the stability of serum protein level, nevertheless, it has no obvious advantage in maintenance of weight and short-term nutritional status

Objective To explore the effect of amisulpride and risperidone in the treatment of patients with first-episode schizophrenia and its influence on social function.Methods 70 patients of schizophrenia conformed to the International classification of diseases tenth edition(ICD-10) were randomly divided into amisulpride group(observation group,35 cases) and risperidone group(control group,35 cases) by using the random number table method.The Positive and Negative Scale(PANSS) was used to evaluate the efficacy,the Scale of Social Function in Psychosis Inpatients(SSPI) was used to evaluate social function before and after 8 weeks of treatment.Results After 8 weeks treatment,the negative symptom factor score of the PANSS in the observation group was (15.04±3.55)points,which was improved significantly compared with (17.82±3.87)points in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t=3.132,P<0.05).The scores of the field in movement and interaction,social activities and skills factor score and the total score of SSPI in the observation group were (15.49±3.54)points,(14.53±4.25)points,(39.25±8.27)points,respectively,which in the control group were (12.78±3.29)points,(10.01±3.78)points,(33.72±7.83)points,respectively,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (t=3.317,4.701,2.873,all P<0.05).Conclusion Amisulpride is effective in improving the negative symptoms,social function in patients with schizophrenia,and the effect is better than risperidone.
